Product description
In 2018, Highland Distillery withdrew its popular Warrior Collection range from its Travel Retail offering and replaced it with four whiskies from master blender Gordon Motion.
The new series has no direct connection to the mythology of the Vikings and other Scandinavian peoples, but refers to animals that play a large role in the beliefs of the aforementioned peoples. Spirit of the Bear is the opening edition of the series, a young whisky aged mainly in sherry-seasoned American oak barrels and bottled without an age statement at 40%. 2017 was a great year for Highland Park, the brand's sales increased by 24% compared to the previous year and reached 1.7 million bottles.

Finish: medium long, with notes of vanilla, honey, a bit of spice and peat smoke.
